FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus has been tipped to get a display upgrade to bring 
back a WQHD screen for non-Ultra Galaxy phones. 

This comes via reliable tipster Ice Universe , who tweeted that the Galaxy 
S24 Plus will sport a flat screen with a WQHD display (ie. a 1440p resolution 
spread across a wide aspect ratio). The tipster also noted that the Plus 
model will have slim bezels, measuring 2.5mm on the sides and 1mm for the 
middle frame; going by the rumors so far, these bezels could be slimmer than 
those on the Galaxy S24 Ultra . The first version of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ 
rendering, this time the S24+, the four sides including the middle frame are 
2.5mm (S24 Ultra 3.4mm), the bezel part of the screen is about 1.5mm, and the 
middle frame is about 1.0mm. The rendering is as follows. The key is the top

Ice Universe also tipped a 195g weight for the Galaxy S24 Plus, saying itll 
be 7.7mm thick. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro weighs 206g and measures 
7.8mm thick. Resolution retrofit 

Size isn't everything; I tend to like the heft of an iPhone Pro model over 
its Android rivals. What has caught my eye is the resolution part of this 
rumor. 

Samsung stopped giving its non-Ultra phones a WQHD resolution after the 
Galaxy S20. The idea here is an FHD+ resolution is less power-hungry than a 
higher resolution panel, and the likes of the Galaxy S21 , Galaxy S22 and 
Galaxy S23 in their standard and Plus guises lasted longer on a single 
charge. 

But Ive found that the screens are still large enough, on the Plus models at 
least, to justify a higher resolution. In day-to-day use, the jump up to WQHD 
over FHD+ isnt hugely noticeable, say when you're scrolling through X. 
However, the bump to WQHD when playing games and watching movies, or zooming 
into photos, is more noticeable. And by default, Id ensure an Android phone 
with WQHD or FHD+ options was set to the former, as I enjoyed that extra 
sharpness even if battery life took a hit. 

So Ill be glad to see the WQHD resolution return as an option for the Galaxy 
S24 Plus. With improvements in chip design  the Galaxy S24 range is likely to 
have access to the rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip  I hope that next-gen 
Galaxy phones will be more power-efficient and better suited to handle a WQHD 
display. 

Time will tell if this rumor comes to fruition, likely around March 2024 when 
we expect to see the Galaxy S24 lineup. Im all for upgrades on the Plus 
models. Sometimes I feel the Plus can be ignored in the face of the 
impressive but expensive Ultra phones. You might also like Samsung Galaxy S24
